Just thought I'd bump this. 
Okay Basili......HELP.
I went from natural to texlaxed in April. I haven't had a touch up since. And it's time!!!
I practiced self texlaxing with Motions CPR, and it took too long, so I'm considering going to a stylist. But I've got some issues. I called my old stylist (that I haven't see in 3 years) and I spoke with some stylists that use Mizani BB (I've been thinking of trying it).
I don't really know how to approach my new hair views with my old stylist. When I talked to her, I asked her what relaxer she uses. She said Affirm and Design. She asked what I have. When I told her Elasta QP, she said she hates Elasta QP. Which is fine. But then she said "your hair is thick, so I've got something for your hair", which is Design because that's what she used before. But how do I go in now and say, okay don't get my hair completely straight, use a protein conditioner after rinsing the relaxer out, leave the neutralizing shampoo on my hair for about 5 minutes before you rinse it out, cut SPLIT ENDS ONLY, oh and I don't think I want either of those relaxers?? She's gone be like, "what the hell." I feel like I'd rather start with a new stylist so that she can know what I expect from the beginning. But, then I reread this thread, and you said don't get a chemical the 1st couple of times. I don't have several hair appointments to wait for a relaxer.
